Offset Animations in Geometry Nodes

Download the Geometry Nodes setup I use to stagger one animation across multiple elements. Includes the finished Blender file and both video tutorials.

Blender 5.0

How it works

One animation. Offset across the whole setup.

The group turns one animated value into a staggered value you can reuse anywhere in your Geometry Nodes setup.

Make the Index node actually useful

This one focuses on the idea behind the setup: turning Index into a clean 0 to 1 value you can use to offset animation.

Working with UI? Bring it straight from Figma.

Figma to Blender imports your interface as useful Blender objects, so you can spend your time animating it instead of rebuilding it.
